Temperance legislation is seldom en-
livened by genuine novelty, but a
measure is being advocated in Virgin
ia which is an exception to the rule.
tits proposed to prohibit the sale of
intoxicants to all who are not licensed
liquor drinkers. The license is to
cost 81 a year and be non-transferable,
and the proceeds are to go to the
school fund. The scheme is very
interesting one, to say the least Of it.
and if adopted will not only yield a
handsome revenue, but will also pre-
vent man from being a total abstain
er con principle at home and a tip
pier in saloons. There are some dis
tricts where such q license would
equal per capita tax of 81 on each
adult male member of the community.

The only men who are of worth to
town or community are those who
can forget their own selfish ends long
enough and who are liberal enough in
their ideas, to encourage every public
and private enterprise-who are ready
with brain and purse to forward every
project that is calculated to build up
the town and enhance it's importance.
The enterprise and push of a commu-
nifty in its infancy is the foundation of
its permanent success. A town might
as well prepare for its funeral as to be-
come indifferent to the industry and
enterprise in its midst. Men who
come to town to make it their future
home, who can't see far enough ahead
of them to see that money placed ju-
diciously in public enterprise of thesr
own town will bear hundred fold in the
appreciation of their property are to
be pitied. They belong to class who
are ever ready to take all they can of
some one else's building and enterprise
but are not willing to do anything
themselves. It is the town with the
most enterprising citizens in it which
grows most rapidly.-Washington Post.

when the capitalist invests his hon. estly acquired capital in savings banks and has for long number of years his interest and compound in- terest added to his original capital. Here he does not contribute a parti- cle of his own working force to the constant and sure increase of his capital, which may within century have grown to the tifty-fold amount. Benevolent lcgacles, administered by trustees, or even by public boards, may in this way increase a hundred fold, and nave so increased, all by the taxing of the labor of others. Especially is this the case with the land value in large cities and with mort-maln property in agricultural lands in prosperous countries.
 Here the injustice of the laws per hitting such legal robbery of labor is fully evident. No law takes care and insures the life, the prosperity of workers; but the eternal life of dead capital and it's matching pow CTS are secured by laws. All things are perishable; some have an exist ence of a few days only, others of a few months, some of few years and even these need a constant care, watchfulness and repair. But capl- tal is made by law impershable, is considered infinitely more entitled to public care than men, labor, hon. est products of labor and human happiness and progress.
 Everybody knows that it is impos- sible to accumulate by honest work of an individual, even within life time, more than $lo,OOO, or, at most, $20,000. And yet there are men among us who, beginning with nothing but mother-wit, own now a hundred or two hundred million dollars, and must have acquired thol" more or less dishonesty. That there are laws which allow that, fa- cilitate it, reward such robbery out of the common fund of ches-that is dishonesty itself.

respectively ninety-one and ninety two years old, becoming too helpless to care for themselves properly, were to be taken to the poor house, where they would be compelled to live apart. They asked for an hours grace, which was granted by the overseer of the poor. At the end of the hour they were found dead. The husband was a learned man and q lingnist, and supported himself un- til quite recently by his literary work and by teaching. Truly, this couple, after years of toll together, were en- titled to more consideration than a choice between separation and social ostracism and death.

WENDELL. PHILLIPS.

Last Monday many friends and ad- mirers of the immortal Phillips cele- brated his memory at Fancuil Hall, Boston. It was in that same hall, and while standing on the same plat form that Wendell Phillips was hissed. But the freedom of the rage he pleaded for has been accomplished. Many public men spoke and wrote letters of laudation for the occasion of last Memorial Day in honor of the great orator. Even from far-olf Greece came letter of sympathy, in which the writer, Plato F. Draculi, expressed the hope that Americans would also abolish wage slavery.
 This would indeed be the true way to honor Wendell Phillips. Mere laudatory speeches would not satisfy the man whose heart beat for the people. He was not satisfied with the breaking of the iron chains of black slavery. He went further; and though he did not ally himself with sect or party, he plainly indicated his abhorrence of the capitalistic an- archy of the present time. The prin- ciples he advocated are the princi- pies of Socialism, broad, comprehen- henslve, just to all men; guarantee ing true freedom, establishing order and economy. Let all who would honor Wendell Phillips forget the man in the en- deayor to emulate the great spirit which animated him.

SERVANTS NOT MASTERS

It would be surprising if the strict ures made by the independent, out spoken labor press in regard to the unconstitutional proceedings of the Executive Board of the k. of L., were answered by solid argument. instead of demagogio vltuperation, and yells of you're another." It would be surprising from the fact that guilt Is too evident to permit of a reasonable defense. There are certain measures that the member ship at large has right to vote upon, and there will be no peace un- til the will of the rank and file of the Noble Order has been ascertained Tn an honest, straightforward man her, according to law-not according to the dictnm of an individual or set of individuals usurping the power that belongs of right to the member ship as whole.
 The General Master Workman and the Executive Board should un- derstand that they are paid to carry out the law-not to make law. They are servants-not masters.

Mrs. Parsons visited Columbus. Ohio, and hired a hall in which to lecture. The police refused her entrance. She appealed to the mayor; he was drunk: she scored him indignantly; he arrested and jailed her; the next morning refused her a jury trial and bound her over in jail until she should furnish bonds to keep the peace" and cease talking in Columbus.
 These facts are stated by the Colum- bus Capitol. the largest capitalist paper of the city, which denounces the mayor as drunken brute.n

WHAT OTHERS SAY.
I'll F CHICAGO LOCKOUT.

The Chicago builders have appar- ently given up the task of settling the labor question with "carl of principles" To be lawful an agree ment between employer and cmploye must not deny the latter the rights and liberties equally guaranteed to all citizens by the constitution of the United States. The card which it was intended to compel every workingman to sign as a condition of employment either does Of does not violate the fundamental law of the land. If it does violate this by preventing men from combining for mutual protection, it simply shows by the despotlc tendency which 1t manlfests, how necessary it has be- come for workmen to combine in order to resist the aggressions of d class that thus brazenly proclaims it's disregard for their most sacred rights. But if it does not violate the constitution; if, on the contrary, as is claimed by the Chicago build CTS, it merely reaflirms the equal rights of all citizens under the fun damental law of the Republic, then the "card" is worse than useless to the employers, who thereby publicly admit that their opposition to labor organization is despotlc and anti American.
 There is no escape from this di- lemma, and the Chicago builders have come to the conclusion that United Labor cannot be dispersed by firing ''card" at it. They have determined to meet it again in solid array. In long address, which plainly discloses their real object, they declare in bad English and worse temper that the "encroach- ments of unions must be recognized by the employers at all hazards. ' A wholesale lock k-out is advocated, to last until their stal yed workmen are compelled to surrender uncondi- tionally. "Better," says the address, "that not another brick be laid or another nail driven in Chicago for a year than that this opportunity be lost to regain their rights for the employers.
 In the light of recent events this document reads strangely. It Is a challenge to Organized Labor, not only in the economic but in the po- liticai field. A bold challenge. to be sure, in view of the extraordinary strength developed at the polls by the Labor Party of Chicago, under the most adverse circumstances that can be conceived; and yet most natural challenge under these very circumstances. It IS the logical out come, both of the terror increased by that development of strength, and of the cowardice in the ranks of | Labor, which alone prevents an over

THE. FlREBRAND.

While the labor agitation and the oppression of capitalism are bearing their legitimate fruits in this and othe civilized countries, and while the workers thcmAslves are awaking to a consciousness of their condition, there are still some who would re- press the natural development of the public intelligence apparently for fear that their preconcelved notions of the order of progress might not be realized.
 Thus the "religions frebrand," as it has been called, having been flung, as it were, into the arena, there seems to be a desire to stamp it ont without lnquIrlng whence or why it is there.
 As we see it the "religious fire brand" is not a religious consdera- tion, after all. The peaceful solu- ton of the question of the rights and wrongs of Labor is interfered with by the subjection of a large portion of the people to an authority winch
 
 has shown itself antagonistic to pro- gresslve democracy. In the course of events, while the people are en- gagged in an endcavor to throw off the yoke of capitalism, this author ity, having held sway over the minds of men for centuries, raises It's scep- ter and demands of it's subjects sub mission to It's will; and that will is moulded by the selishness and oyer- bearing power of the peoples oppres- BOTS, the aristocracles, hereditary and money made, of the world.
 
 Religion, the reverence and attach ment of man to the highest ideal of eternal right and justice, has nothing to do with the "iirebrand. /"
 It has been recognized by many thoughtful labor reformers that au- tocratlc control of the masses by i'm posing upon their ignorance or cre- dullty, thus enslaying and circum- scriblng thought, is far more danger ous than the attempts of the ruling class to gain complete mastery over the masses economically and polite ally. Therefore, the appearance of this "frebrand," while it may be de- | plored as coming too early in the history of the movement, must, since 1t is here, be understood and permitted to burn out the dross and leave the fighters for freedom un- hampered by the mental incubus of submission to ecclesiastical domina- tion.
